WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS A HAMMER | Dennis Sovronos

 

 

Dennis Svoronos is a Boston based sculptor whose work has been shown nationally and internationally. Seven years after his brain cancer diagnosis, he continues to work. Through his kinetic and interactive sculptural works, Svoronos ponders the problems he and others face as life-long patients, conveying both the horror and humor of the place between chronically ill and unexpectedly well. His latest work encompasses thousands of replicated medications, as well as eerie gadgets and animatronics. As a patient himself, Svoronos uses his work to create a safe space to discuss and debate issues affecting the most vulnerable. He is currently exhibiting ‘Grey Matters’ a solo show examining the ethics of treatment at the Boston Sculptors Gallery from October 12-November 13, 2016.
